Sorry about the typo. I meant rpm -e. The problem was that I was
trying to uninstall the driver rpm, not the driver package rpm, and
had to uninstall the GLX package first. I had sucess when I figured
out the right target. By the way, it was nice how rpm -e automatically
recovered the old files it had put aside in the form xxx....RPMSAVE.

Thanks.
